Aim:
Wolff-Parkinson-White patern is the most common form of ventricular
preexcitation. The aim of this study was to investigate the clinical features
of pediatric patients with Wolff-Parkinson-White patern or syndrome and to
investigate the results of the follow up.
Method: The echocardiography database and Holter archive were sorted and a total of 73 children were found to be diagnosed as having Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome between January 2000 and December 2017. The medical recordings of these patients were evaluated retrospectively. The demograghic and clinical features and follow–up results were recorded.
Results:
A total of 73 patients were diagnosed with Wolff-Parkinson White Syndrome in
the determined period. Nine patients were newborns. 15 patients (20%) were
admitted to our clinic at least once before diagnosis of Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome but were missed. 17 patients had
conjenital heart disesis,a. 23 patients were completely asymptomatic, 9
patients were diagnosed due to nonspecific symptoms, and the remaining 41
patients were symptomatic patients. 18 of the symptomatic patients referred to
our clinic with the recorded supraventricular tachycardia. In 23 patients,
transesophageal electrophysiological study was performed for risk assessment.
28 patients underwent catheter ablation during the mean follow-up period of
45.1 ± 43 months.
Conclusion:
Although children with Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome can be admitted during
supraventricular tachycardia, they are mostly diagnosed in symptomatic patients
and few are caught incidentally in asymptomatic patients transesophageal
electrophysiological study is an effective
method in risk assessment. When needed, ablation provides definitive
treatment.
Amaç: Wolff-Parkinson-White paterni ventriküler preeksitasyonun en sık görülen şeklidir. Bu çalışmanın amacı Wolff-Parkinson-White paterni veya sendromu tanısı almış çocuk hastaların klinik özelliklerinin araştırılması ve izlem sonuçlarının incelenmesidir.
Gereç ve Yöntemler: Bu çalışmada kliniğimizde ekokardiyografi kayıtları için kullanılan program kayıtları ve Holter arşivi incelenerek Ocak 2000-Aralık 2017 tarihleri arasında Wolff-Parkinson-White Sendromu tanısı alan 73 çocuk hasta saptanmış, hasta grubuna alınan olguların tıbbi kayıtları retrospektif olarak incelenmiş ve olguların demografik ve klinik özellikleri ve izlem sonuçları çıkarılmıştır.
Bulgular: Belirlenen süreçte toplam 73 hasta Wolff-Parkinson-White Sendromu tanısı almış olup, dokuz hasta tanıda yenidoğandı. Hastaların 15’i (%20) Wolff-Parkinson-White Sendromu tanısı almadan önce en az bir kere kliniğimize başvurmuş ancak tanı almamış hastalardı. Wolff-Parkinson-White Sendromu tanı tarihinde 28 hastada yapısal kardiyak bozukluk saptandı. 23 hasta tamamen asemptomatikti. Dokuz hasta nonspesifik semptomlar nedeniyle değerlendirilirken yakalanmıştı, kalan 41 hasta semptomatik hastalardı. Semptomatik hastaların 18’inde kaydedilmiş supraventriküler taşikardi atağı mevcuttu. 23 hastaya risk değerlendirmesi amacıyla transözefageal elektrofizyolojik çalışma yapıldı. Ortalama 45.1±43 aylık izlem sürecinde 28 hastaya kateter ablasyon uygulanması sağlandı.
Sonuç: Wolff-Parkinson-White Sendromu tanılı çocuklar supraventriküler taşikardi sırasında başvurabilmekle birlikte çoğunlukla semptomatik hastalarda incelemeler sırasında saptanmakta, az bir kısmı da asemptomatik bireylerde tesadüfen yakalanmaktadır. Risk değerlendirmesinde transözefageal elektrofizyolojik çalışma önerilebilir bir yöntemdir. Gerekli hastalarda ablasyon kesin tedavi sağlamaktadır.

The publication language of Turkish Journal of Pediatric Disease is English.
Manuscripts submitted to the Turkish Journal of Pediatric Disease will go through a double-blind peer-review process. Each submission will be reviewed by at least two external, independent peer reviewers who are experts in the field, in order to ensure an unbiased evaluation process. The editorial board will invite an external and independent editor to manage the evaluation processes of manuscripts submitted by editors or by the editorial board members of the journal.

If the articles sent to the reviewers for evaluation are assessed as a senior for publication by the reviewers, the section editor and the editor considering all aspects (originality, high scientific quality and citation potential), it receives publication priority in addition to the articles assigned for the next issue.
The aim of the Turkish Journal of Pediatrics is to publish high-quality original research articles that will contribute to the international literature in the field of general pediatric health and diseases and its sub-branches. It also publishes editorial opinions, letters to the editor, reviews, case reports, book reviews, comments on previously published articles, meeting and conference proceedings, announcements, and biography. In addition to the field of child health and diseases, the journal also includes articles prepared in fields such as surgery, dentistry, public health, nutrition and dietetics, social services, human genetics, basic sciences, psychology, psychiatry, educational sciences, sociology and nursing, provided that they are related to this field. can be published.
